Editor's Notes
The introduction is critical to the success of the speaker. A poor introduction means thespeaker has to spend the first critical few minutes of the speech clearing up misunderstandings.In a good introduction, the foundation for the speaker's talk is built and the speakerimmediately may launch into the talk.A good introduction sets the tone for the speaker, creates a positive, friendly environment,and establishes a bond between the speaker and the audience.
An introduction prepares the audience for the speaker. The introduction builds a bridgefrom where the thoughts of the group are at the moment to where the speaker wantsthem to be.The introduction should tell why the subject is important and why the audience shouldfind it of interest.The introduction should tell what special reason the speaker has for speaking about thechosen topic or any experience or expertise the speaker has in the subject area. A goodintroduction makes it clear that the speaker speaks from special knowledge, experience,or authority.We are gathered here today…. Or our speaker needs no introduction.
